Building with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019

0. Opening Visual Studio

Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2019. After seeing the splash/welcome screen,
please click the button that reads Open a local folder.

1. Opening the dhart repository

When the Browse window appears, navigate to the dhart folder
(the repository that you had cloned) on your local machine.
Then, navigate to src.
Click the Select folder button to confirm.

2. Revealing the Solution Explorer

If the Solution Explorer view is not already open, you may open by
navigating to View > Solution Explorer, or alternatively,
you can also use the Ctrl + Alt + L shortcut to reveal Solution Explorer.
Here, you can examine the sources imported by Visual Studio.

3. Choosing a build version

There are two build versions for dhart:

• x64-Debug
  
• x64-Release
  

To change between build versions,
navigate (move your cursor) over to the top-left portion of Visual Studio,
and you will see a drop-down bar – x64-Debug is selected by default.

If you want to build the x64-Release version of dhart,
change the option in the drop-down bar to x64-Release.

4. Building the repository

We are now ready to build dhart.
CMake is used to aid in the compilation process.

To build, navigate to Build > Build All,
or you may use the Ctrl + Shift + B keyboard shortcut.

You have now built the sources for dhart.
You can find the build files in ./dhart/src/out/build/x64-Debug
